rather curious thing that she was not dis
covered long since. She Is known all
along the South American coast, and is
almost q queen over the people. In fact
there is no one who disputes her in any
thing she says or does, and she revels in
| the luXuries with which her enormous
wealth can surround her. About fifty
years have passed since she was born,
and though few women have dissipated
as she has, she is well preserved and
goes out and has her nice little time the
same as ever.
